Wall Street Prep vs Udemy: Financial Modeling Certification on Resume

Hello everyone, I’m someone who is 2.5 yrs out of college that has been working in Digital Marketing. My degree & interests lie in Finance however, and I’m preparing to apply to Corporate Finance/FP&A roles across startups and F500 companies. Sometimes these roles look for someone with finance/IB experience (which ties into my option of taking WSP).

I’m going to take an online financial modeling course to refresh my memory, however in an effort to not get pigeon-holed as a “non-finance marketing” guy I would also hope for this course to look good on my resume. I am fully aware this DEFINITELY (especially for Front Office IB/PE/AM roles) isn’t going to make or break anything, but this is Corp Fin. & l'm taking the courses anyways. If it helps it helps.

Udemy provides cost effective options whilst Wall Street Prep seems to have great brand recognition at a $200 mark. Is there any significant added value in choosing WSP?
